Lightly oxidised and quietly refined, it is an excellent choice for tea drinkers who want something more layered than green tea, yet softer and less intense than a darker oolong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"17lvjt6\" data-start=\"810\" data-end=\"859\"\u003eOolong Loose Leaf Tea from Anxi County, Fujian\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"861\" data-end=\"1056\"\u003eSE Chung is one of China’s more understated oolong styles. Its name is often translated as “colourful variety”, referring to the wider family of Anxi oolongs beyond the better-known Tie Guan Yin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1058\" data-end=\"1204\"\u003eWhere some oolongs are bold and roasted, SE Chung is lighter, fresher and more subtle.
